history

Leskovec is probably a foundation of the Benedictine Březová ( Briesau ) and was created as a forest hoof village on both sides of a stream. The village was first mentioned in 1412 as the property of Mikuláš from Leskovec, who probably also built the fortress . The subsequent owners of the small country estate were Václav von Leskovec from 1432 and Mikuláš Nedvídek from 1464. From 1500 the festival can be documented. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the owners changed in quick succession. In 1680 Georg Christoph von Proskau bought the estate and added it to his lordship in Grätz . The Leskovec fortress thus lost its importance as a manor and became extinct. In 1733 Leskovec was almost completely deserted. The village was then repopulated. Friedrich Carl Johann Amadeus Prince Lichnowsky abolished the lordly Leskovec farm in 1782 . He had its corridors parceled out in equal parts and left them to 18 German settlers from Kamitz and the surrounding area. The west have evolved over the old village streets village was named German Markersdorf . The old village was henceforth called Moravský Leskovec or Bohemian Markersdorf. In the following period, the proportion of the German-speaking population continued to grow through Zug.

In 1834 the village of Böhmisch-Markersdorf or Morawsky Leskowec on the Moravian border consisted of 45 mostly wooden houses, in which 327 people lived. The Gručovka was dammed in two ponds, which ensured the operation of the grinding mill below. Next to it was the colony Deutsch-Markersdorf, consisting entirely of Dominikalland, with 23 houses and 125 German-speaking residents. The main sources of income in both villages were agriculture and day labor. The parish and school location was Briesau. Until the middle of the 19th century, Böhmisch Markersdorf and Deutsch Markersdorf remained subject to the minority Grätz.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Moravský Leskovec / Bohemian Markersdorf and Německý Leskovec / German Markersdorf from 1849, the municipality Leskovec / Markersdorf in the judicial district Wigstadtl . From 1869 Markersdorf belonged to the Troppau district. At that time the community had 493 inhabitants and consisted of 66 houses. In 1900 there were 418 people in Markersdorf, compared to 455 in 1910. In the 1921 census, 466 people lived in the community's 93 houses, 271 of them Czechs and 195 Germans. In the Böhmisch Markersdorf district (63 houses) there were 318 people (241 Czechs, 77 Germans), in German Markersdorf (30 houses) 148 people (118 Germans, 30 Czechs). In 1930 Markersdorf consisted of 102 houses and 455 inhabitants; In 1939 there were 466. According to the Munich Agreement , the mixed-language community was assigned to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the district of Opava until 1945 . Between April 29 and May 1, 1945, the Red Army decided on the German battle position in Briesau from Markersdorf during the battle for Briesau. After the end of the Second World War, the community came back to Czechoslovakia, most of the German-speaking residents were expelled . The two districts Moravský Leskovec and Německý Leskovec were combined in 1945. In 1949 Leskovec was assigned to the newly formed Okres Vítkov, which was repealed in the 1960 territorial reform. In 1950 the community had 250 inhabitants. Since 1952 the names Moravský Leskovec and Německý Leskovec are no longer used. On January 1, 1977 Leskovec was incorporated into Březová.
